He seemed to be played out of position fairly regularly. He's most effective at centre half. Bit lost elsewhere but can fill a hole at left backQuote:

I know Pats are well-resourced but can't imagine the money they'd offer would tempt Sligo, who have 200k+ coming from Europe (barring an Athlone miracle).Quote:

Darragh Markey joined Drogheda from Pats,not sure Pats fans are happy with that one........
Darragh Markey gone to Drogs. Mixed feelings on that one, very likable player and a lovely footballer but at the same time it feels like we've been waiting years for it to click and him to actually become productive. Move might be the best thing for him.
Can see us looking very different next season.
Would you see a number of dundalk players playing for pats next season?
If so which ones would you prefer?
You'd have to assume O'Donnell would have first choice on those not staying in oriel.
Depends on how many Dundalk release. Benson and Kelly were the two we had this season. Benson was erratic performance wise but in general he was one of our better players. Kelly was hugely disappointing, 3 goals all against Finn Harps is a poor return for a very hyped player.Quote:

Exactly. Definitely don’t want to see Rogers or Garland. In fact if we let Clarke go and were to end up with Rogers ( not saying we necessarily will) then SOD should have some questions to answer.Quote:

Daniel Kelly I'd welcome, our forward line was the weakest part of our side this season, particularly pace as was mentioned above and he'd offer that. Not sure who else would be available but Dundalk can keep Georgie Kelly.
Actually thought Benson was one of our best performers this season, might not be saying much granted but I think any inconsistencies were mostly a product of the side's inability to take chances. A better striker and he has at least 4 or 5 more assists to his name and is probably being viewed as a big success.

Mark Timlin back at Harps for 2021. As good as a new signing for us, provided he's over the worst of his injury problems. Cracking player on his day.
He played mostly at centre-back. After sitting on bench for most of the resumption he came off the bench in the 1st half in our win against Sligo and played well at right back. Then he got back into starting XI for the next game at centre back against Derry and had a nightmare which may have sealed his fate. Seems a good lad didn't work out for him and another shot in the Premier back at Harps or Longford would be a good move for himQuote:

Also on a side note, Ian Morris must’ve liked the pats teams from 2017-19, given he’s got about 8 of them now haha
Galway and Shels making some big moves in the First division, Cork might face an uphill struggle to get straight back up.....
O'Connor is one of those players that could go either way for Shels, bags of potential and will be a real goal threat in first division but his temperament is terrible lost count of the absolutely stupid & pointless fouls and scuffles he got involved in in his time at HarpsQuote:

A lot more than that have all but departed, if not yet announced.Quote:

Time will tell but it still a long way from 1mil transfer target to the EPL...Quote:

Well the thrash talk & s**t i got for(jokingly) pointing that out got fecking serious & it all got messy and nobody was saying sorry for what they posted etc.......
Cherrie pulled his twitter a/c soon after.
Wish the guy well wherever he goes.
Mick McCarthy wants to bring Jack Byrne to Cyprus apparently.....
Ah now we dont want any that talk before a cup final in case it disrupts things!!
Would be a nice move for a young chap if not a homebird.
I think Jack has already made holiday plans with his mates.
Harps have 5 players re-signed so far in the off-season.
Shane McEleney
Barry McNamee
Mark Timlin
Stephen Folan
Paddy McGarvey (young goalkeeper on a two year deal)
Peter Cherrie couldn't catch covid if he licked every bat from here to wuhan.Quote:

Peter Cherrie was pretty good for 2/3rds of his first season. He is crap now. That is why he is released.
You're short a goalkeeper thought and there's not many around. If Gartside is good enough why does he never play?Quote:

I've watched quite a bit of the games on WatchLoi and apart from Cork and Shelbourne's duo of keeper's Cherrie definitely looked the keeper you'd have least confidence in.......
https://www.pfai.ie/transfer-list
PFAI transfer list has been released. I'm open to correction but I don't think this necessarily means that the players in question have left the clubs definitively (i.e. most years you'd see guys listed here who eventually do re-sign)
It's an interesting list, and though it probably does contain many of the names that will ultimately move, there are quite a few whose present clubs - you would think - would be slow to release. Probably just indicates end of contract and new one not signed yet.
PS also doesn't contain several names we're fairly sure clubs are keen to let go ...
The players have to ask to be put on it.
Yeah the PFAI list is members who are letting all clubs in this country and abroad know they are out of contract and available to listen to offers. Some will ultimately remain at their current clubs, some will transfer to new LOI/Intermediate clubs/go abroad, some will retire and some will never be heard of again
And some have already signed deals with their clubs..
Tyreke Wilson joined Bohs.....
But why did he play every game until the end of the season? If Peter Cherrie is not the answer then surely the implication is the other guy is an even worse answer. Which suggests that you haven't even asked the question to begin with.Quote:
